There's always a new trend and new skincare regime in trend but there are few things that never go out of style and will always remain constant when it comes to simple yet effective skincare. Toners are one of them. Face toner application is a step that is after cleansing and before moisturization. Toners can be used every day, preferably in your AM routine. It is not a necessary skincare step but it is effective.

It is useful for dry and damaged skin. Toner infuses skin with nutrients, balances pH, brightens tone, minimizes enlarged pores, and keeps the skin hydrated. Toners can also help remove makeup residue, dead skin cells, and grime from the skin’s pores. After this step, we can be sure that the other skincare products will be absorbed well into the skin. Let's know the benefits of Tones in detail.

What Does Toner Do To Your Face?

  1. Hydrates the skin: Toners have a high water content that can help hydrate your skin. Few toners also have ingredients like hyaluronic acid that further increase the levels of hydration.

  2. Makes the pores appear smaller: Enlarged pores can make us conscious and we can't even use makeup to hide them thus toners help reduce the appearance of pores. One should know that reducing the size of pores is difficult.

  3. Helps restore the skin’s pH balance: People also use acids in their skincare that include alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid which is also present in moisturizers. Thus, toners help restore pH balance after the use of these ingredients.

  4. Green Tea Toners are rich in antioxidant properties that help fight acne and have anti-aging properties. Toner with green tea helps replenish and renew the surface of the skin after cleansing. 

  5. Aloe vera-infused toners possess soothing and moisturizing properties. Aloe vera in toners provides a boost of non-greasy hydration and reduces the appearance of red, irritated skin. 

  6. Toners make the other skincare products more Effective. When skin is prepped with a toner, other skincare products penetrate deeper into the skin thus showing more effective results. They provide a smoother and more balanced complexion. 

  7. Facial toners refresh the skin and help hydrate the skin on the go. Toners with alpha hydroxy acids (or AHAs) help remove built-up layers of dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs thus providing smoother, firmer-looking skin.
